Make your own ESL video

The videos I selected in the previous post were so horrifying to me that I had to help share them with the world. They were perfect examples of what can go wrong when the teacher has lost control (and the respect) of their class. I suspect that they were recorded by students surreptitiously on their cell phones to give their parents' proof of their complaints.

The video below shows what is possible when a teacher has a video camera, some basic editing skills, some extra time on their hands and most importantly, a happy and motivated class of young ESL learners. It's an inspiration.
